1. What is a gear reducer?
A gear reducer is a mechanical gear transmission widely used to reduce the speed of the motor that transmits power in various equipment such as processing and manufacturing equipment. There are many types of reducers, and the gear or gearbox type is the most popular form, which is reliable, simple, quiet and efficient.
2. What is a gear reducer used for?
The main function of these gear reducers is to reduce the input motor speed from the power supply and increase the measurement of torque to produce the correct output for motion control and precise power transmission through a compact and enclosed configuration. The reduction adjustment of the axis can expand the available workload of the machine equipped with the gear reducer.
Gear reducer manufacturers are committed to providing high-quality gear reducers that are durable, quiet, corrosion-resistant, compact, and have a variety of mounting options to meet the unique requirements of the market.
3. What are the applications of modern gear reducers?
Modern gear reducers are widely used in various machines such as MRI machines and medical devices, food and beverage processing equipment, printing and conveying equipment, welding machines, automation, agriculture, ships, etc.
4. How does a gear reducer work?
Gear reducers can drive and process power transmission to replicate sufficient torque and adjust the reduction to obtain the ideal output. These two tasks can be accomplished by reliable designs of various gearboxes, in which the output gear has more teeth than the input gear. Therefore, the outer gear tends to rotate slower, and the reducer can reduce the speed but increase the torque at the same time.
Gearbox reducers adopt single-stage units or double-stage structures. The structure of a single-stage reducer only includes a pair of gears. The engine shaft drives the pinion, which is a small gear that drives a larger gear located on the shaft. Since the diameter difference between the pinion and the gear is usually twice larger than the pinion, the output rate can be reduced.
On the other hand, a double-stage gear reducer uses a small pinion mounted on the middle first reduction gear. The middle gear is then connected to another pinion that rotates at a slower speed. In this structure, the second reduction gear located on the shaft is attached to the second pinion. This two-stage power transmission process is more suitable for higher speed applications than a single stage.
